He played with Stefan de Kroon (Racoon, Sjolmord) and Bert Hanssens (Hannibal) in the Stooges-like band 'the Yamahamamamas'.

After the break-up of Gorefest, Bonebakker took full course education in classical guitar at the Tilburg conservatory and got his degree and focused on teaching in his hometown.

After two albums, which show a step back to death metal form, Gorefest had grown apart again and quit for a second time.

When the time came to put together a new band, the first person Bonebakker got in touch with was drummer Ries Doms, quickly followed by bass player Sytse Roelevink.

For his Hammond he turned to Jarno van Es, a pianist he had once seen maniacally working the keys in a smoke-filled local jazz den.

Called in to replace him for a few gigs, jazz rock drummer and personal friend Maarten Poirters added such a range of possibilities to Gingerpig’s pallet that Bonebakker asked him to join the band.

Together with producer Pieter Kloos, known for his work with The Devil's Blood, Vanderbuyst, 35007 and Motorpsycho, Gingerpig recorded eight tracks at Eindhoven's legendary "The Void" studio.

The songs vary in style from long, drawn-out soundscapes to compact pop tracks, interspersed with those typical Bonebakker riffs we have come to know from his Gorefest albums.

With this first release, Gingerpig takes us on a journey of discovery full of human warmth and eagerness to experiment, just like those albums from the seventies used to.

It’s been one hell of a dream, we tried to stake our claim of relevance in the music world, a lot of the time it really felt like going against the grain, but the reality of it got the better of us.
